A Delta flight from New York's LaGuardia Airport bound Monday night for Palm Beach International Airport was diverted to Jacksonville after a passenger dispute about, you guessed it, personal space and a reclining seat.

An onboard witness told a West Palm Beach TV station that after the woman seated next to him reclined her seat the passenger behind her started screaming and swearing and demanding that the flight land.

Delta confirmed that due to a "passenger disruption" and with an "abundance of caution" the pilot put the plane down in Jacksonville, where local law enforcement took over.
